Reebok Money! Average Pay For UFC 191 Fighters Was $8,750

UFC 191 went down on Saturday night and delivered some good fights and some not so great fights. In the main event we saw a rematch between UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson and John Dodson.

With names like Frank Mir, Andrei Arlovski and Joe Riggs you would think that the Reebok payouts would be pretty substantial this time around.

Remember that fighters get paid from Reebok according to their tenure with the Zuffa. So with veterans like those guys it would make sense that they get paid well, but the overall average, even with the championship fighters included, was only $8,750.

Outside of the champ and the challenger, Mir was the next biggest earner with $20K.

Check out the full rundown below:

Demetrious Johnson: $40,000
def. John Dodson $30,000

Andrei Arlovski: $15,000
def. Frank Mir: $20,000

Anthony Johnson: $15,000
def. Jimi Manuwa: $5,000

Corey Anderson: $2,500
def. Jan Blachowicz: $2,500

Paige VanZant: $2,500
def Alex Chambers: $2,500

Ross Pearson: $15,000
def. Paul Felder: $2,500

John Lineker: $5,000
def. Francisco Rivera: $5,000

Raquel Pennington: $2,500
def. Jessica Andrade: $5,000

Tiago Trator: $2,500
def. Clay Collard: $2,500

Joe Riggs: $10,000
def. Ron Stallings: $2,500

Joaquim Silva: $2,500
def. Nazareno Malegarie: $2,500

The average number comes from adding all the fighter’s pay up, then dividing it among the number of fighters.
